Registration

What is shareware

What is Shareware?	The Honor System!

Top five reasons why you should register the Shareware

This Shareware has no annoying beeps, delays or random  keys to press, and the evaluation copy is useful.

 Registering is just the right thing to do. Your  registration will  encourage me to release other programs as Shareware.  This  will also encourage me to release a new edition of this program   with more features..You want to appease the voice in the back of your mind that keeps  chanting "I know I should register, I know I should  register, ..."

Your registration does make a difference.  Each individual   registration is personally  appreciated.

You will receive the three for two bonus offer,

Upon registration, you will receive you registration number and   will be entitled to additional access on our BBS. You will be able to download new revisions and register the   upgrades at no additional cost for the life of the product.

Shareware is a method of software distribution which gives users a chance  to try software before buying it.    Individual programs differ in detail; some request registration while others require it.

You should find software that suits your needs and your budget, whether it's  commercial or Shareware.  The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier because you can try before you buy.  And because the Shareware author's overhead is low, prices are low also.  Shareware has the ultimate  money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

The Honor System!

We do not use "nag/splash screens" in our programming   .

We have taken this bold step in the firm belief that most folks are honest.  However, you still have 30 days to either register the Shareware or remove it  from your system   We trust that if you do use the product for more than 30 days,   you will register it promptly .  And, upon registration we will immediately send you  your registration number and when each version is completed, Future versions will  be available to registered users at no charge.  Also,    registered users receive free online technical assistance through AOL, CIS, or the Internet, in  addition you will be able to take advantage of the special 3 for 2 bonus offers on all of our products,

If you want to pass any of our Shareware packages along to friends and relatives or upload them to BBS's or online subscription services, you are welcome to do so.  However, you must not alter the original files in any manner or add to or subtract from  the files in the package; in short, just send the original ZIP file containing the  entire package.

The Shareware diskette

Once a customer registers a product they will receive one Shareware diskette and one Freeware diskette.  The purpose of this topic is to explain a bit about the Shareware diskette.

The Shareware diskette will setup all of the programs in a directory called C:\BMELLON

this is a non destructive setup procedure and does not replace anything in your Windows\System directory. You may remove the entire directory from the disk by deleting C:\BMELLON which will remove all files that were installed.

Topcat Help

Topcat is a friendly little kitty that won't hurt your desktop. This is but an example of some freeware that we give away to our customers and most people like it, however, it has come to our attention that some do not! Topcat is easy to shut down once you understand some basic principles in windows. If your running win 3.1, single click on the topcat icon at the bottom of your screen to get a menu and close the program. If your running Win 95 you will have to single click on the topcat icon in the taskbar with the right mouse button.
